Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosures

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

The Company is concerned about the social and environmental conditions that have been observed in some mines that supply metals to the electronics industry known as “conflict minerals” which currently consist of the following metals: columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives. The longstanding civil war in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) has impacted many mines that supply conflict minerals. Together with our peers, we are working to support the development and implementation of a tracking and validation system to ensure conflict minerals that originate in the DRC come from responsible sources free from association with armed conflict. For more information on our program and to view our Supplier Code of Conduct you can visit the “About Us” tab on our web site at www.motorolasolutions.com. The information contained on Motorola Solutions’ website is not a part of this Form SD and is not deemed incorporated by reference into this Form SD or any other public filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In accordance with the requirements of our Supplier Code of Conduct, Motorola Solutions has concluded in good faith that during 2015:

 

a)

Motorola Solutions manufactured and contracted to manufacture products as to which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of such products; and

 

b)

Based on a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” Motorola Solutions knows or has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, sometimes referred to as the “Covered Countries”) and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be from recycle or scrap sources.

Motorola Solutions’ reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) employed a combination of measures to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals in Motorola Solutions products originated from the Covered Countries. Motorola Solutions’ primary means of determining country of origin of necessary conflict minerals was by conducting a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers using the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). Motorola Solutions used the smelter information from the CMRT and the various smelter’s Country of Origin information provided through our membership to the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative to determine the Country of Origin of material that may be in our products. Additionally, Motorola Solutions’ participation with in-region sourcing programs such as Solutions for Hope (http://solutions-network.org/site-solutionsforhope/ ) and Conflict Free Tin Initiative (http://solutions-network.org/site-cfti/ )provided additional country of origin information.

As a result of the reasonable country of origin inquiry conducted as described above, Motorola Solutions concluded that material in our products may have originated from all three of the country levels as described below:

Level 1 Country: Countries with known active ore production for tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold that are not identified as conflict regions or plausible countries of smuggling or export of tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold containing materials.

---

Level 2 Country: Known or plausible countries for smuggling, export out of level 3 countries, or transit of materials containing tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold. This currently includes Kenya, Mozambique, and South Africa.

Level 3 Country: The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its nine adjoining countries as outlined in Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act. These include Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, DRC, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. These are also commonly referred to as “covered countries” in the Dodd Frank Act Section 1502.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘Rule 13p-1”), Motorola Solutions has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (Form SD) and the associated Exhibit 101 Conflict Minerals Report and is available on the Company’s website at www.MotorolaSolutions.com/investor.

Exhibit 1.01

CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF

MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.

FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM

JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2015

 

 

I. Introduction

This is the Conflict Minerals¹ Report of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (may be referred to as “Motorola Solutions”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for calendar year 2015 (excepting conflict minerals that, prior to January 31, 2013, were located outside of the supply chain) in accordance in all material respects with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources, and also to Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) of the Act (the “Adopting Release”) for such definitions.

In accordance in all material respects with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine the content and source of the minerals within our products. The Company designed its efforts in conformity, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD 2013) (“OECD Framework”) and related Supplements for each of the conflict minerals.

The statements below are based on the due diligence activities performed to date and in good faith by Motorola Solutions and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing. There are factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving definition and confirmation of smelters, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the SEC final rules, and other issues.

II. Design of Due Diligence Measures

The Company designed its overall conflict minerals policies and procedures based on the five step framework developed by OECD (2013), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition (OECD Due Diligence Guidance) OECD Publishing (http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264185050-en ) and the supplements on tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.

Our implementation of the five step framework consists of the following activities which are discussed in further detail in Section III (RCOI) and Section IV (Due Diligence).

 

1

The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country

4.

Auditing of Smelters/Refiners to Ensure Conflict Free Status

 

5.

Reporting of Results of the above Activities

Our efforts utilized multi-industry initiatives with the smelters and refiners of minerals who may provide those minerals to companies in our supply chain. The Company, as a purchaser of component parts, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals; the Company does not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals, and conducts no purchasing activities directly in the Covered Countries.

III. Management Systems and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

The following outlines the measures taken to determine country of origin.

Step 1. Policy and Management System

a. Conflict Minerals Policy – As required by the OECD Framework, Motorola Solutions developed a policy which establishes the expectations of our suppliers to responsibly source products on a conflict free basis. The policy resides in our Supplier Code of Conduct and can be found at http://responsibility.motorolasolutions.com/index.php/downloads/. It is periodically reviewed and updated, if necessary.

b. Company level grievance mechanism – As required by the OECD Framework, Motorola Solutions utilizes our internal Ethics Line to provide a grievance mechanism. All Motorola Solutions employees as well as those outside the Company can communicate directly and confidentially (via phone/fax/email) with the Office of Ethics without fear of retaliation.

Step 2. Conduct Risk Assessment

The MSI process relied on the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and Conflict-Free Smelter Program developed by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative. The following steps were taken as part of our risk assessment process.

a. Identify products in scope – Our internal cross-functional group of employees assigned to our conflict-free minerals team reviewed the categories of products that we sell to determine the products that are in scope as described in the Adopting Release. As part of this process, the Company identified direct suppliers that provide products potentially containing conflict minerals, and set a goal to collect CMRT data from suppliers representing 93% of the in-scope direct material spend for this report, an improvement of 3% over the previous year’s survey.

b. Conduct Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) – As part of the RCOI, the Company used the industry-developed Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). We evaluated the responses in the template to determine the reporting obligations based on the RCOI. We surveyed tier 1 direct suppliers that provide material and components for products that are within scope and, as needed, performed due diligence steps to identify the smelters and refiners who contribute refined conflict minerals to the Company.

c. Identify smelters/processors – The Company compared the smelters and refiners identified by direct suppliers via the supply-chain survey against the list of smelter facilities designated as “conflict free” by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative’s (CFSI) independent third-party smelter audit program.

IV. Due Diligence Measures Performed by Company

The following outlines the measures taken to exercise due diligence in conformance with the OECD Due Diligence guidance.

---

Step 3. Mitigate Risk

As part of the risk mitigation process we compared the list of smelters/processors collected from suppliers and compared it to the Conflict Free Smelter list developed by the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). After completing this review, the Company communicated to suppliers who have smelters and/or processors that are not on the CFS list to migrate their supply chain to those that are on the CFS list. The communication also includes a recommendation for a supplier to recommend that the smelter and/or refiner in their supply chain participate in the CFS program. In addition, suppliers who reported all smelters and/or processors in their supply chain are identified by CFSI as “conflict-free” were sent letters acknowledging their efforts to establish a conflict-free supply chain, and encouraging them to continue to maintain it as such.

Step 4. Audit of Smelters/Refiners

Step 4 of the OECD due diligence process recommends that downstream companies implement audits by cooperating through their industry organizations, and that downstream companies participate in and contribute to such organizations. The Company is a member of the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC/GeSI). As a member, the Company has supported the execution of the Conflict Free Smelter Program (CFSP) and has relied on the CFSP to develop information on the country and mine or location of origin of conflict minerals in the Company’s products. The efforts to determine mine or location of origin through CFSI are described on the CFSI website at http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org/.

Step 5. Results of Due Diligence

In our 2015 survey, we requested CMRT data from 176 suppliers. We received data from suppliers representing over 93% of our in-scope direct material spend, exceeding our internal goal. A review of this data showed that 211 of the smelters identified in our supply chain are certified as “conflict-free” by the CFSI. A further 85 smelters are identified by CFSI as having agreed to participate in the CFSP program but are not yet certified as conflict-free. See Appendix I for a list of countries of origin identified through the RCOI process.

The Company has determined that materials in products were derived from Covered Countries. Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is available on our website at www.motorolasolutions.com/investor.

V. Product Description

On the basis of the measures described above, the Company has determined that as of December 31, 2015, a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country.

 

1.

Description of products – The products subject to this disclosure include: (i) two-way portable radios and vehicle-mounted radios, (ii) accessories such as speaker microphones, batteries, earpieces, headsets, carry cases and cables, (iii) software features and upgrades, (iv) the radio network core and central processing software, (v) base stations, (vi) consoles, and (vii) repeaters.

2.

Processing Facilities – Based on the input received from our suppliers, the facilities listed in Table 1 may have been used in the processing of conflict minerals used in our products.

VI. Steps to Improve Due Diligence

We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. We will also continue to monitor changes in circumstances that may impact the facts or our determination. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional fact and risk assessments where potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. New suppliers will be reviewed for conflict minerals conformance during initial business reviews. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we intend to continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its performance. However, if we identify an upstream supplier is sourcing from or linked to any party providing direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups we will work with our supply chain to suspend or discontinue engagement with that upstream supplier. We expect our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.

In 2015, we implemented a data management system that allows us to store data collected from suppliers via the CMRT. This system has data analysis capabilities that allow us to efficiently review the quality of supplier responses and will allow us to measure improvements over time.

In addition to those above, the Company will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate the risk that its necessary conflict minerals do not benefit armed groups, including:

 

•

Continue to collect responses from suppliers using tools such as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.

 

•

Continue to direct suppliers to information and training resources that will improve the quality of the data in the supplier responses.

 

•

Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs such as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative.

 

•

Inform and encourage suppliers to transition to smelters identified by the due diligence process as “conflict free” by an independent audit program such as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative.

 

•

Continue support of key in-region conflict-free sourcing initiatives like the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (“PPA”), the ITRI Tin Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi) and the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”).

 

•

Continue to support implementation of closed pipe systems, through our support of organizations such as the Solutions for Hope Platform.

 

•

Continue to allow verified conflict-free material from the region to enter our supply chain.

VII. Independent Private Sector Audit

Not required for calendar year 2015.
